Chapter 20: Off course
"Hehe, I really earned this time, I don't know how much I can improve with so many red fruits, and how many spiritual veins I can condense." Xiao Chen looked at the red fruits in his arms and said with a smile.
Since there were too many red fruits, Bai Ningshuang also held a lot of them, and the two of them didn't have any treasures to store, so they could only hold them like this.
"Miss, you have left too much for them, although this red fruit is not very precious, there will be a lot of rewards for taking it back to the clan." Uncle Shi looked at the picture in the lake and said.
As Xiao Chen thought before, in fact, when Ziling was formulating the route, she had already made a trip beforehand, and she had also encountered this spirit swallowing beast before, and she also collected some of the red fruits, but she also left a lot of them.
"This fruit is actually only useful for people in the Spirit Martial Realm, and the family doesn't need it very much, and if I get a good score in this assessment, the benefits I get are much more than the benefits I get from handing over these red fruits to the family." Ziling said.
"Miss, you won't really put the treasure on this kid, will you?" Uncle Shi asked in surprise, in his opinion, Xuzhou and Xu Si may be more promising, and even Wang Xiaoqiang is stronger than Xiao Chen.
"I said, there is only this Xiao Chen here, and I can't see through the little girl who is with him, I think they will surprise me." Ziling said.
"Huh? Why don't they go back to the route that the bracelet leads! Ziling suddenly wondered.
The picture on the surface of the lake showed that Xiao Chen and Bai Ningshuang did not follow the route suggested by the bracelet, the route that they had deviated from before because of the Spirit Beast was even more deviated from now, it was already an area that Ziling had not explored, and even she didn't know what was there.
What made Ziling even more puzzled was that the picture of Xiao Chen and Bai Ningshuang became more and more blurry, and finally disappeared completely, and Ziling could no longer get any information about them.
"Is there really something calling you over there?" Xiao Chen asked.
The reason why they deviated from the route was because Bai Ningshuang sensed that something was calling her here, and Xiao Chen naturally chose to accompany her to find it.
"Well, when I first entered here, I had this feeling, but now this feeling is even stronger." Bai Ningshuang said with a frown.
"Maybe it's because the distance has become closer, so it feels clearer, let's look for it first." Xiao Chen said.
Bai Ningshuang nodded, she always felt that this thing was important to her.
"What the hell is there, the formation on the bracelet has been affected." Ziling stood up and wanted to go to investigate, but was stopped by Uncle Shi.
"Miss, as long as the assessment starts, we are not allowed to interfere with the assessment."
Before the assessment, you can make a bracelet like Ziling to guide the candidates and even help them find resources, but once the assessment starts, the examiner is not allowed to enter the assessment area, and once the person is entered, the examiner and all his candidates will lose their assessment qualifications.
Ziling was indeed a little anxious just now, and she was curious about what was there, so she impulsively wanted to investigate.
After Uncle Shi's reminder, Ziling also reacted, to be honest, she valued Xiao Chen and Bai Ningshuang a lot, if something went wrong with them, Ziling would not have the slightest confidence in this achievement.
The reason why she came to the Yanlun Continent was to find treasures at the beginning, she thought that if she could find the treasures that attracted the attention of many continents, she could change the fate of the family, and she didn't have to follow the family's arrangement, but unfortunately she didn't find it, so now she only hopes that she can achieve good results in the imperial assessment and strive for more benefits for the family.
"Hey, that's it, maybe that's their fate, I hope they can be safe." Ziling sat down in her original position again, her voice was a little low, she knew that the greater the chance, the greater the danger.
As for Xiao Chen and Bai Ning Shuang, they naturally didn't know Zi Ling's reaction, and according to Bai Ning Shuang's induction, they continued to look for the thing that attracted Bai Ning Shuang.
As they continued to advance, Xiao Chen's area became colder and colder, which made Xiao Chen more sure that maybe there was really something needed for the White Condensation Frost here, and this place was strikingly similar to the place where he had encountered the White Condensation Frost before.
"Xiao Chen, you eat these fruits first." Bai Ningshuang saw that some of the red fruits in her arms were frozen and lost their aura, and said to Xiao Chen.
Bai Ningshuang knew that this thing would be of great help to Xiao Chen, and if they continued to move forward, the fruits they had collected with great difficulty would probably be completely wasted.
Xiao Chen shook his head, he wanted to help Bai Ningshuang find that thing quickly, who knows what will happen after a long time.
"It's okay, I'll just wrap the fruit with aura."
"When you get out, you must get a storage thing, if you have it now, this problem won't arise." Xiao Chen thought in his heart.
Bai Ningshuang wanted to persuade him, but Xiao Chen took the lead and walked forward, and Bai Ningshuang had no choice but to give up and learn Xiao Chen to wrap those fruits with aura.
"Xiao Chen is here." Bai Ningshuang raised his little hand and pointed in the right direction, only Bai Ningshuang could sense the direction of the thing's existence.
Xiao Chen smiled awkwardly and walked forward along the route Bai Ningshuang pointed to.
"Hey, how is this area different from the rest?" Just when Xiao Chen and they were hurrying in this icy and snowy land, another group of people came here, and they also chose to explore this icy and snowy land.
Although the misty swamp is dangerous, it also comes with chance, especially in places like this, where there are often very good treasures.
And in this group, in addition to Xuzhou Xu Si, there are several other people that Xiao Chen has not seen.
In this misty swamp, it was not only the team led by Ziling who participated in the assessment, but also other people who were also conducting the assessment here.
"This area wasn't like this before, and it looks like something has happened recently that has made this place like this." Xuzhou took out the map given by the family and said.
"Endeed, it is very likely that there is a treasure born that will become like this, if you find it, the benefits of your Xu family are indispensable." The young man who walked in the front said.
The boy was clearly the leader of the group, leading the way while the others stood around him, keeping him safe.
His name is Wang Juncai, and he is not from the Yanlun Continent, but for some reasons, he led some of the children of his family to come here for assessment, so he is not very clear about this misty swamp.
In the process of assessment, they met Xuzhou Xu Si and them, as competitors, Wang Juncai of course made a move on them, but only later did he learn that the family of these two people is also a big family in the Yanlun Continent, and they know this misty swamp very well.
So Wang Juncai let them go, but Xuzhou Xu Si's bracelet was taken away by Wang Juncai.
Without the bracelet, they will not be able to complete the assessment, will be eliminated, bitter at the same time, even more regret did not stay in their own family side for the assessment, although there is a lot of competition, but with the family, if you are lucky, there is still some hope.
It's just that what Xu Si of Xuzhou didn't expect was that when Wang Jun saw their bracelets, he actually promised that they would not be eliminated, even if they couldn't pass the examiner by themselves, he had a way to let them pass at the examiner of his own team.
This made Xuzhou Xu Si rekindle his hope, and he worked even harder in this misty swamp, leading the way for Wang Juncai and them, and getting one opportunity after another.
"What is this?" At this time, Xiao Chen and the others had already come to a tall tower.
The entire tower was made of ice, exuding a chill, and the environment here was undoubtedly caused by this tower, which was like crystal, emitting a mysterious light, and this light slowly shone on the white frost.
Bai Ningshuang frowned, as if she was trying to think about something, and when the light emitted by the ice tower shone on Bai Ningshuang, Bai Ningshuang showed a comfortable expression, which also made Xiao Chen breathe a sigh of relief.
There is a big black hole behind the ice tower, which is exactly the same as the black hole in the wild forest, and it seems that this ice tower also came out of this black hole, the same as the white frost.
"Xiao Chen, I can't remember what this tower is, but I feel that it belongs to me." Bai Ningshuang said.
"Well, that's right, the place where you appeared in the first place is exactly the same as here, and this tower is likely to be from the same place as you." Xiao Chen said.
"Then I'll go in and see if I can think of anything." Bai Ningshuang handed the fruit in her arms to Xiao Chen and said what she thought.
"Well, go ahead, if there is any danger, come out immediately, and I will help you protect the Dharma outside." Xiao Chen instructed.
Bai Ningshuang nodded, and walked towards the ice tower, the closer Bai Ningshuang got to the ice tower, the brighter the light emitted by the ice tower.
When the white condensation frost touched the ice tower, as soon as the light flashed, the white condensation frost disappeared, and even the light emitted by the ice tower converged and turned into an ordinary crystal ice tower, which looked like he could see the situation inside from the outside, but in fact, Xiao Chen couldn't see anything at all, like a dream.
Xiao Chen was guarding the ice tower, if someone else found him here, he felt that he would not allow the other party to disturb the white condensation frost, and he didn't even rush to eat the red fruit, because if he entered the cultivation state, he would not be able to concentrate on protecting the white condensation frost.
Not long after Bai Ningshuang entered the ice tower, Wang Juncai and the others were also slowly approaching the ice tower, although they did not have the induction of Bai Ningshuang, but they knew that they would move towards the coldest place, although they would sometimes deviate, but they could adjust it every time, so they just moved relatively slowly, and it was only a matter of time before they reached the ice tower.
